Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Hints About Twitter?
Hello all,
I have heard on several podcasts that the Qwitter client is no longer being
supported. Evidently the developer is busy with school and doesn't have
much much free time. It would be nice to find another client for Windows
but I haven't heard of one. In the meantime, I am using my iPhone with a
Braille display to read and write tweets. There is a good app called
Echophone which works well with VoiceOver.
